The funny thing is that none of my “liberal” friends who have emailed the gun-totting-bikini-clad Sarah Palin photo to me are aware that it is not real.
Photo making the rounds:

Real photo before Photoshopping:

Rush to judgement? I don’t see conservatives emailing around doctored photos of Joe Biden in a bikini. Of course it is possible that [...]

John Edwards’ artful admission of his affair with former staffer Rielle Hunter leaves several questions still unanswered but let’s start off with his official position just before Edwards’ orchestrated press assault from today:
“The story is false. It’s completely untrue. It’s ridiculous. I’ve been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years….The story is just [...]

The John Edwards “Love Child” story (originally broken at the end of 2007, National Enquirer above) became a local (that is Los Angeles) story when the National Enquirer story wrote that John Edwards left the Beverly Hilton room of Rielle Hunter recently at 2:30 am. Despite this the LA Times has continued a hands off [...]

Brilliant.

Ever since Adobe’s introduction of Photoshop, it has been all but expected that the standing President would have one or more photos doctored showing them holding a phone upside-down. The message being that the politician is so used to faking photo ops and so clueless that they didn’t even notice that the phone was upside-down [...]

Just checking because I checked Wikipedia and a map and they still seem to be separate countries, and China doesn’t appear to be located on North America.
So why this statement from Barack Obama:
“In Youngstown, Ohio, I talked to workers who have seen their plants shipped overseas as a consequence of bad trade deals like NAFTA, [...]

Not having anything better to do, the NY Times’ Jim Rutenberg, Marilyn W. Thompson, David D. Kirkpatrick, and Stephen Labaton have spent the last few days researching and resurrecting an 8 year old story about a relationship that everyone involved denies and tying it back into the Keating 5 scandal. As far as smears [...]

I don’t think it’s his looks, but not being known as a fine judge of male pulchritude I could be wrong.
He’s a major political candidate so it’s probably not b.o.
Whatever it is the women, they are dropping like flies.
Dori Monson of 710 KIRO here in Seattle has found at least 7 examples of [...]

Paul Krugman is a funny guy. At least I think he is – I mean I am assuming that it is his dry wit shining through when he complains about the “Clinton Rules” in use by the US media:
the term a number of observers use for the way pundits and some news organizations treat [...]

As you all know I veered from the mainstream candidates early on and endorsed Pandora Peaks as my preferred presidential candidate, both for the lyrical nature of the name title combination (President Pandora Peaks just sounds good) and for the huge knockers – but mainly for the huge knockers. Anyway her campaign has been [...]

Proving that no idea ever really goes out of style Hillary Clinton is stealing her economic plans from the Chavez / Mugabe playbook.
And why not? It’s worked well for Venezuela, where although the government doesn’t officially control all private businesses, price controls, currency controls, a tendency to intervene in the market and [...]

I am reviving the Draft Pandora Peaks movement for Election 2008. She is at least as viable a candidate as Ron Paul, Stephen Colbert, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, and (at this point) Fred Thompson plus she is a hell of a lot more decorative.

I need a nifty little graphic to put here [...]

Below is a Los Angeles Times Editorial. We’re running it in its entirety since it’s likely that we won’t see many more editorials coming out of the Times that interest us or a good chunk of their shrinking readership. For those of you not following the soap opera at the Times, the agenda-driven columnists [...]

As the Presidential-wannabees of 2008 fall all over themselves trying to be the most digital, John Edwards is clearly trying to be more “web 2.0” than any of the other candidates.
Not surprisingly, he looks silly.
He’s now posting regular updates on Twitter, the uber-buzzy social network populated largely by 20-somethings blogging about playing videogames or ordering [...]

The blog “Hello Rocky” is predicting an Al Gore victory in 2008. Interesting reading.
